Can I put Tatouage on textured walls/surfaces?

Tatouage Designs FAQ's, Tatouage Transfer Designs
Yes. I recommend that you lightly wipe the artwork using a damp sponge, if need be. Do not soak it if the design is not sealed. Treat your Tatouage as if it really were hand-painted. Do not scrub it, or use harsh chemical detergents.

Are there any surfaces that Tatouage is not intended for?

Wall-running can be disabled by holding the "crouch" key. This can be useful for dropping to the ground or in conjunction with the leap ability.
